Star Golden Hearts Award is an annual Award by The Star that celebrates everyday Malaysians who demonstrate extraordinary commitment to social work and promote unity among Malaysians, whether through explicit means or by virtue of their acts of kindness.
Introduced in 2015, each year we invite Malaysians to nominate exemplary individuals or organisations who are then reviewed by a panel of judges.
Your nominations successfully helped us to identify our community’s unsung heroes.
The winners of the Star Golden Hearts Award 2025 were announced on 20 November 2025. Stay tuned for our next announcement, and thank you Malaysians!
